[hpsdr] powerSDR and High resolution

[Brian D. Comer]

George 

My display is only 3200 X 1800. When I set the DPI to 1 as per the windows
10 note it locked out the scaling under settings. If I Turn off custom
scaling and sign out, when it comes back powerSDR is messed  up. If "Change
the size of text, and other apps" is set to 250% as recommended, powerSDR is
totally messed up, if set to 100 or 125 the vertical is correct but the
horizontal takes the full width. The GTX 970 M driver recommended by Razer
or something does not seem to handle this well. Only setting DPI to 1 with
regedit seems to get a good result. It is interesting to note that, a second
monitor I have connected with only 1920 by 1080 follows the built in monitor
on the lap top ever if it set as the primary monitor.

I'm also using Windows 10 Creator's Edition.

I understand this is a windows setting and the program is working as it was
designed. However now with small hi resolution screens this makes the text
very small. The GUI window comes up 5 by 2.8 inches. I can go to full screen
buy that only results in the same size text sparsely spread over the screen.

Brian,

Just to be clear, the article is somewhat mistitled.  You are changing the
DPI resolution of the COMPUTER (not PowerSDR) so that PowerSDR runs as
designed.

I'm using a DPI setting of 125% on a true 4K display (3840x2160), and
PowerSDR looks and displays just fine.  It consumes only a portion of the
screen.  And I'm using Windows 10 Creator's Edition (the latest edition
update from March 2017: aka #1703, where the numbering is: YYMM, YY is the
2-digit year, MM is a 2 digit month number.  This is why the Anniversary
edition was #1607 - july of 2016)
